Who Wins

Pre-6, you and Zilean are roughly matched as supports: your healing sustains Jhin through Corki's poke, but Zilean's double Q stun is a real kill threat if Jhin gets caught.
Post-6, Zilean's R is a direct counter to your lane's kill condition — Jhin's burst combo is negated by a revive, and your R silence does not prevent Zilean from casting it, so you need to play around avoiding the stun rather than trading kills.

Your best pattern is to keep Jhin topped off with Q and W heals so he can play aggressively for W roots and 4th-shot poke without fear of dying to Corki's Sheen trades.
When Zilean uses both Q charges for a stun attempt, that is your window to push Jhin to play aggressively — Zilean has no kill threat for several seconds after missing or using his double Q.

You should not roam — your value is entirely tied to keeping Jhin alive and healthy in lane, and leaving him alone against Corki's sustained poke and Zilean's stun is a death sentence for your ADC.
Stay in lane and focus on denying Corki's poke from translating into a kill.

Do not use your R preemptively or wastefully — Zilean's R means that in a 2v2 all-in, you may need your R to counter his R, and burning it on a non-lethal situation leaves Jhin exposed to a follow-up kill.
Timing your R after Zilean has already used his is the correct play, not reacting to the first sign of danger.
